XDM

[CLUTIER]

xdm don't work on a HP9000
I have used dr_dt script and i have 3 warnings.
3 files miss
/var/adm/inetd.sec
/usr/dt/bin/xmbind
/usr/dt/bin/suid_exec
On another HP9000 i don't have these files but xdm works !!
I don't understand.

OK what exactly are you aiming for ? to start CDE locally on the HP9000 or to run remote CDE logins from a PC Client or xterminal : please detail s/w involved together with H/W.

The last 2 files that are listed as missing are suggesting to me your patch level wrt CDE is not current ... they can be ignored ... the inetd.sec maybe relevant.

If the 9000 is a server without a graphics head/card check dtlogin is running ?

Are you certain the 9000 and any remote pc's or xterminals involved here can resolve each other hostnames and ip addresses ?

Is DNS , routers or firewalls involved at all.

If XDM is not working what results are you seeing then ?

check also in /var/dt/Xerrors ....

awaiting details .....

Just try doing a
#/usr/dt/bin/dtconfig -e
#/sbin/init.d/dtlogin.rc start

If still does not work then
check your /var/dt/Xerrors
